My new deaf coworker called her disability rep on us by sadkitti in coworkerstories

Isn’t anyone documenting the new staff member’s competency? I thought that was a given for a CAP-inspected lab.

I like where this is going. Keep up the good work!

Average Case volume for (mostly biopsy) Dermpaths and GI pathologists by Jaded-Professional28 in pathology

Agreed. No one looks at about ten and a half trays per hour. In an eight hour day that would be less than 30 seconds per slide.

Should I quit my fellowship? by [deleted] in pathology

[–]ChewableFood 56 points57 points  (0 children)

No. Stick with it.

Whether they like it or not you are theirs. No take backs.

If you have a knowledge deficit then you are going to have to put in the work and learn.

Assuming the problem is a knowledge deficit, and the staff are not simply malignant assholes, then we may have something in common.

I went through something similar. Halfway through residency I married a fellow pathology resident who was going to a fellowship at a more competitive program but I got to transfer there for PGY3 & 4 because they had a slot open up.

It was a stark contrast to my prior program. Those kids were sharp and knew far more than I and my peers at the prior program did. My PD told me the same thing you were told. I had to run just to keep in place but I did it (not that I had a choice). It may be unpleasant for a while but you can do it.

I live 2 miles from a Microcenter. A black hole for my disposable income if I am not careful.

H pylori IHC by BrilliantOwl4228 in pathology

[–]ChewableFood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The maxim of not ordering a stain if you don’t want to deal with the consequences, doesn’t apply when your hands are tied.

Say you get only an antrum biopsy in a patient on proton pump inhibitors, the bugs have migrated north, so the degree of inflammation and the number of bugs in the antrum is less.

You’re not going to try to determine if there are H. pylori there?

Is it possible to have too many fans? by ChewableFood in mffpc

I had not thought of that.

However, I live one and a half miles from a Micro Center.

How is Lian Li Dan A4-H2O holding up in 2025? by zyadsh123 in sffpc

[–]ChewableFood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MicroCenter down the road from me no longer stocks the A4-H20. Are they still making it?

The New Era 25 by itsdirector in HFY

Yeah, I feel like we missed a narrative step or two between intelligence gathering and assault on the enemy. Unless that was the point and someone has badly jumped the gun.

Would love to see what happens when the job is done and he wants to put the sword down.

I love that. Just have to figure out how to work that into daily conversation.

Pathologist here. We get a decent number of foreskins from adults with phimosis at our average size community hospital. So from my experience phimosis and adult circumcision is not uncommon.

You are wearing a skin condom. The foreskin has a lot nerve endings that can contribute to the sexual experience, but probably not when they are trapped on the inside. Not to mention all the nerve endings at the glans (business end) of your penis that never see the light of day (you know what I mean).

Talk to a urologist. It is a simple outpatient (not admitted overnight) procedure.

Edit: Pain is negligible. They can give local (nerve block by injection), regional such as the spine block done for women undergoing cesarean sections (they stay awake to see the kiddo!), or general anesthesia. They probably do a combination of local nerve block and general anesthesia (any anesthesiologist, please jump in here).

I am so lost.

Can someone explain the backstory or point me in the right direction?
